  Banh Mi is the Vietnamese word for bread, but it also refers to a sandwich in Vietnamese cuisine that is stuffed with some very specific ingredients and flavors. When I lived in West Africa, I lived across the street from a Vietnamese restaurant and among other delicious things, they served banh mi sandwiches. I’ve been thinking about all the veggies and herbs in those ...

We often hear the phrase, “You are what you eat.” We innately know that if we eat doughnuts for every single meal, we’re going to feel it in our bodies, minds and energy levels, while if instead we choose whole, nutrient-dense foods that fuel us properly, we’re likely to show up (and look and feel) like completely different people. To a certain extent, we really ...

Tender and Tangy Brisket

I grew up in Montana, where April was still quite cold. Our Easter photos were hastily taken outside in the frosty grass. We smiled through chattering teeth just long enough to snap a photo, then hurried inside for the actual egg hunting around the house. (There was once a huge blizzard in May, but we try to forget that year.) For me, the fragrance of ...

Classic Deli Tuna Salad

  Tuna salad is often vilified as smelly, fishy, and a Very Bad Thing to bring to the office for lunch. This reputation put me off it for years, until I went looking for easy seafood recipes I could whip up and travel with. And it turns out there’s a reason people bring it to work! But not only is this not smelly or fishy, ...
